Snark aside, under extreme stress (such as that which might prompt a person to call 911), dialing can indeed be a problem.
A chapter of Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink examines how people can make seemingly obvious errors in situations where they feel threatened. Their "animal brain" kicks in, and higher functions are pushed aside. As a result, would-be callers often hit the wrong numbers, forget to hit Send, etc.
One expert recommended that everyone spend some time practicing dialing 911 so that their brains are adequately prepared to do it under stress. It's an odd image but it might be a good idea.
I've made bacon and I know the truth, you can't handle the truth.
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls need to be guarded by men with flaming bacon lances.
Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? That ain't kosher.
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved your bacon, and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall; you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, prosciutto. We use them as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under a blanket of the very bacon I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way.
Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a bacon lance and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Every version since Win98 has included the Windows Script Host by default. This allows one to automate quite a variety of tasks out of the box using vbscript or javascript. It's a little clunky for some things (e.g. recursive file searches), but is generally flexible enough for most needs.
It's been a marketing term for over a century (at least if the wiki citation is accurate). The similarly-named economic theory was a frequent point of contention in the Reagan/Bush41 era. It's not used as much these days but I wouldn't call it really strange.
Come to think of it, "porpoises" or "platypus" would make more sense than what he actually wrote. We can take it as a given that the "midnight toker" part wasn't an exaggeration.
Slashdot has one editor on staff who actually pays some amount of attention to spelling, grammar, usage, punctuation, etc. However, he spends most of his time sleeping. There's a secret trick to wake him up.
Take a look below the article summary. See that little triangle at the beginning of the line with the tags on it? Click that triangle.
Then, in the line which drops down, enter the word typo. Click the Tag button to the right of that.
I did that an hour ago and now the spurious capitalization is gone from the summary.

A previous fork named Sugar On My Tongue was deemed inappropriate for children.

You think that's bad? You can get sued for sounding too much like yourself.
John Fogerty did win the case though.
Gah, mod me down. I deserve it.
That's what I get for over-proofreading and copying and pasting too many times.

This could be worth some serious microbucks.

For just a second I was convinced that this whole post was a highly elaborate Back To the Future reference.
So that makes you the Grahamson?
In this case they're Transphoners.

Nice part of OTRS is the ability to set up caned responses
Ouch! Do you work in Singapore?
Come to think of it, this might be a good option for certain particularly stubborn users.
Ehmm, structural panel failure, break failure
No, structural panel failure is a break success.
I am Jack's stunning lack of peak creativity.
Kids, unblurring text opens up a whole new world of whimsy and wonder.
Big blocky butterfly in the skyyyyyyyy...
It's 100-proof pudding. I think Richard Feynman invented it.

To be fair, "properties" makes more sense.

Cause I speak of the properties of love.

He didn't get destroyed, he got mutated and is now Super Gravity Willis.
Is he constantly orbited by Gary Coleman?
I've had a 100% success rate so far. Maybe it just carries more weight when I do it.

Wow, TMI.
I suppose that's impressive from a physiological standpoint, but how does it make you a better fighter?
